Netwrix offers its 2026 Data & Identity Security Report, which examines how AI adoption is changing organizational security risk.
The report shows that organizations moving fastest on AI adoption reported a 43 percent breach rate over the past year, compared with 11 percent among organizations where AI had not significantly expanded identities, automations or access complexity.
The report also explores how organizations are struggling to secure AI-driven identity expansion even as visibility and security maturity improve. Topics covered include:
- Agentic AI security risks and governance gaps.
- Non-human identities and AI-driven privilege sprawl.
- Why faster AI deployment appears to correlate with higher breach exposure.
- What organizations are getting wrong about AI readiness.
- Benchmarking security maturity in AI-enabled environments.
A copy of the report is available here.
